This committee seeks a report from Chief Executive in relation to the new bus routes that are been introduced over the next months. This report asks for management to comment on what future plans are been made for a new bus network for the Adamstown area. No provisions for a bus service along the main road, using the bus lanes leading out onto the Adamstown link road have been catered for. The lack of service getting to locations in Clondalkin nor Tallaght have been catered for. The new routes have, in short, extended the existing bus routes serving Lucan back to new terminus at Adamstown train station. This goes against the concept of Adamstown whereby it would have its own bus network/public transport infrastructure. While the consultation process has ended for Bus Connects, this committee now looks to pursue options with management to address this shortfall of bus services.

That the Chief Executive, in light of the latest published reports showing breaches of noise levels in Woodville estate, immediately requests that TII takes urgent action to reduce illegal noise levels, i.e resurfacing the road or raising noise barriers; and that furthermore a similar analysis of freely available data be carried out for all residential areas bordering the N4 from Liffey Valley interchange to Kew Park, as the stretch in general has been reported as noisier in recent months and this would assist further requests. The mapping of noise at Woodville for example shows that a large large portion of Woodville walk is in the Blue zone for day and Dark Purple Zone for night, both higher than EU acceptable levels. The recent resurfacing of the road near the M50 junction has made the surface quieter and a lower noise surfacing could help reduce the impact of traffic levels returning to normal post-Covid restrictions.
